Manchester Youth Zone opened to young people from across the city in February 2012.
With more than 4,000 young people now members, here is a look at some of the amazing spaces within the facility that are now available to young people, seven days a week in Harpurhey.
The day I entered Manchester Youth Zone was the day my life changed.

The ward in which Manchester Youth Zone is located ranks 2nd worst in England for the effect of long-term deprivation on children. Many young people in the surrounding area are vulnerable to poor educational attainment, future worklessness and to developing antisocial or offending behaviour.
In the local area:
This infrastructure of facilities is based upon our 21st Century Youth Facility Model and young people from across Manchester will have access to all these fantastic facilities for a cost of £5 for an annual membership and 50p per visit. The Youth Zone will provide a safe environment where young people can come and enjoy themselves and will enable young people to raise their aspirations and confidence, to create a happier and healthier generation.
